The present invention relates to a magnetic field adjusting device; such
as may be used in MRI apparatus. The device can overcome the magnetic
force to enable shimming plugs to move in a controlled continuous manner,
thereby achieving continuous adjusting and accurate positioning. The
magnetic field adjusting device comprises; a pair of opposing pole plates
(3, 31), respectively mounted on magnetic field generating sources,
forming a magnetic field space; a plurality of shimming plugs (42)
movably mounted at the periphery of said pole plates (3, 31), each
shimming plug (42) mounted in a radially oriented retaining groove (45),
so as to be movable in the direction of the retaining groove.
Additionally, or alternatively, the circumferences of the magnetic field
generating sources (5, 51) are arranged with adjusting bars (71, 81)
which can move perpendicular to the pole plates. As an advantage of the
present invention, the magnetic field can be shimmed conveniently
quickly, and accurately to improve the imaging quality.
